About charging errors When the status indicator is flashing at a particularly fast or slow rate, the following should be considered. Flashing with approx. 4 second period (off for approx. 2 seconds, on for approx. 2 seconds): ≥ The battery may be over-discharged, or the battery temperature may be high or low. The battery will charge, but it may take several hours for normal charging to begin. Flashing with approx. 0.5 second period (off for approx. 0.25 second, on for approx. 0.25 second): ≥ The battery is not charged. Remove the battery from the unit, and try charging again. ≥ Check that the terminals of the unit or battery are not dirty or covered in a foreign object, and connect the battery correctly once again. If a foreign object or dirt is present, turn off the unit before removing. ≥ The battery or environment is at an extremely high or low temperature. Wait until the temperature has returned to an appropriate level and try charging again. If you are still unable to charge, there may be a fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor. Lamp turns off: ≥ Charging has finished. ≥ If the status indicator stays off despite the charging being unfinished, there may be a fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor. Contact consumer support.
